 BRUTAL METAL September 29, 2006
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
First of all, this band is NOT a metalcore band. If you want metalcore, listen to As I gay crying or Older Tri-Tallica before he got the Hetfield voice.
It's more of a death-grind.
The vocals sounds like a mix between Wormed and Black Dahlia Murder.
The music sounds like The Red Chord, Into The Moat, Ion dissonance and Dillinger mixed with Dahlia.
This music will rip the skin off your face with it's brutality.
 Great C.D! January 13, 2007

This album fits perfect into any extreme music lovers collection. In the same vain as Despised Icon and The End. Very tech with loads of speed to keep metallers headbanging and loads of breakdowns to have the hardcore fanatics dancing.
the best new band you don't know about April 29, 2006

This EP is as impressive as it gets. I first heard these guys on their myspace page and that same night I ordered the cd. It came a week later and I was blown away. Every track on this cd is amazing. The production quality is awesome. The double bass drums are clear with a lot of punch behind them. These guys are insane musicians. Their guitarists kick ass and are about as ferocious as it gets. The bassist is extremely talented, adding more to the sound of the songs than your typical metal bassist. The volcals are insane. They range from death metal growls to high-pitched screams much along the lines of the Black Dahlia Murder. If you like heavy music or melodic death metal, this EP will not dissappoint. I have a feeling that these guys will be touring alongside the likes of Lamb of God or the Black Dahlia Murder in the near future. Get this now!!!!!!

why give this CD a bad name because of your taste in music? if you like heavy music this CD will do the trick. heavy vocals heavy riffs heavy drumming. if you think soilwork is heavy this isn't the band for you. the guys are all just out of high school i think they did a great job with this EP. 5 stars from a true death fan \m/
 Good metalcore; generic, bland death metal July 23, 2006

Job For A Cowboy got popular (somehow) using perhaps the biggest (...) in the history of mankind...MySpace. Sure, MySpace is great for bands, but alot of mallcore/goth/wiggers infest it. Job For A Cowboy has a surreal amount of plays, friends and views on their MySpace page, and they are the next big thing in the mainstream metal crowd. Elitists hate them...and for good reason. They are making death metal mainstream. The same kids who were listening to Korn and Slipknot in the early 00's and Trivium and Lamb Of God in '04 are running to listen to Job For A Cowboy here in '06. Sadly, though, Job For A Cowboy is not an efficient front runner. Why? Because they are generic as (...). Only one demo and one EP and these guys are being considered heroes of the extreme metal genre. If you think that this is good death metal, then you are seriously mistaken. This is above average metalcore (that's why it gets 3-stars) but if you want to hear true, great and unique death metal, then go for Cryptopsy, Nile, Necrophagist, Deicide, Morbid Angel and even Cannibal Corpse.
This EP, entitled "Doom", sounds like every other death metal, hardcore and grindcore fusions. Nothing original here. Nothing groundbreaking. In fact, this has been done over a million times in the past 5 years. Metalcore doesn't do anything for me (except Trivium and Killswitch...they suck). This should be considered metalcore. Except for the generic vocals, this has the edge of metal mixed with hardcore and grindcore elements. So, how does everything sound? The production is good, something not too suprising for a mainstream outfit. The lyrics are pretty generic, and they go along perfectly with the generic vocals. This guy has a generic low grunt and a generic high shriek. The dual guitars sound like everything else that has been done since 1987, so they fall under the category of generic. The bass is inaudible, but when it is heard is pretty generic. If you follow the pattern of all the other instruments, then you would think that the drums would be generic. But, it is actually kind of good, with descent pedal work. But, compared to other speed/death metal drummers like Flo Mounier, Pete Sandoval and Dave Lombardo, then this guy is generic.
So, a generic EP from a generic band with generic musicians. I bet you are tired of reading the word "generic". Well, when it comes to the mainstream metalcore bands, generic is a word used all too often. Every mainstream metalcore band is generic. The only good song on "Doom" is "Knee Deep". Everything else just sounds the same as the song before it, and compared to the great death metal bands of the 80's, 90's and today, this doesn't even come close. It does beat up the current metalcore crowd, but it has been done and redone and redone and redone one thousand times in the past six years. If bands like Lamb Of God, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall and Heaven Shall Burn fancy you, this is great stuff. But, if you fancy Cryptopsy, Death, Morbid Angel and Nile, then this looks like generic child's play. Someday Job For A Cowboy will be the most popular metal band out there, and people will confuse it with real death metal, similar to what I thought of Lamb Of God when they were just getting started. I gave it 3-stars cause I am feeling nice today. But, avoid this if you are a Death Metal Elitist mad at the metalcore scene.
